Character Interview
with Blake Hutcherson of Sasha Bishop:

Final Countdown

Today we welcome
Blake Hutcherson, a character in the upcoming Sasha Bishop: Final Countdown, by
author Carly Jordynn.Thank you for
joining us Blake.

Trust me, the
pleasure is all mine.

So Blake, tell us
about yourself. Rumor has it you’re related to a prominent character in the
Sasha series.

I actually am
Hutch’s half brother. My mother was Izzy, Hutch’s girlfriend from before the
Civil War. My father was Mayor William Hutcherson, Hutch’s dad.

That seems a little
twisted.

I know, right? Izzy
was pissed when Hutch went off to fight in the war instead of marrying her. She
asked William to get her pregnant while she was still human. Her plan was to
pass me off as Hutch’s child. When Hutch returned from the war and not to her,
she asked William to change her while she was still pregnant with me.

I bet that had some
bizarre side effects.

You know it. Once
you become a vampire, you quit aging. I would have remained a baby forever if I
was born a full vampire. Fortunately, I was born as a Halfling. When I turned
eighteen, I made the decision to become a full vampire. Mom did the honors and
here I am.

I heard from Sasha
that you inherited a rather special trait from your mother.

Mom was a
shape-shifter. I did inherit that ability with a slight difference. Mom has to
have something that belongs to the person she was changing into. I don’t have
to. I can shift into any person or animal, as long as it had a heart beat at
one time.

Wow, that’s
impressive. I bet you were a hoot at parties.

Let’s get something
straight, I was never a hoot. I never did anything for fun unless it was
torture. I love terrifying people and derive great pleasure from their
distress.

Um, great, moving
right along, you lived in London for a number of years. What did you do there?
Did you have a career?

Why would I have a
career? I take whatever I want when I want it. When I’m hungry, I drain
somebody. Sometimes I change them and other times, I let them die. When I want
entertainment, I shift into the person you love. I could be your parent,
spouse, friend, or nightmare. It depends on my mood.

Why did you come
back here to Villa Mirage?

Did you not hear the
news? Sasha killed my mother and Hutch killed our father. Granted, there was no
love lost between us, I got out of that freak show family as quickly as I could.
However, I cannot allow their deaths to go unavenged.

What do you plan on
doing?

I’ve already
started. My brother doesn’t trust me. He never will. Sasha, however, is
different. She is used to being around vampires without being one herself. The
human side of her wants to believe I am redeemed.

Are you?

Hardly. Well, maybe
a little. The Slayer has had some impact on me I have to admit. My purpose was
to kill her outright and make Hutch live with the knowledge that I did it. That
was to be my revenge, but Sasha is pregnant. I can’t kill her while she carries
my niece. She will be the Slayer someday too.

So you’re going to
let Sasha live?

At least until my
niece is born and can survive without her mother. After that, I will probably
kill Sasha and Hutch. I could then raise my niece and turn her when she comes
of age. She’s already going to be the strongest Slayer ever born, imagine what
kind of vampire she would be with Slayer blood. Invincible.

So the rumored
friendship between you and Sasha is really just an act to gain her trust?

A few months ago, my
answer would have been yes. Now, I’m not sure. I like talking to her. She fears
me, but refuses to submit to those fears. She’s probably the bravest person I
have ever met. My brother is useless. He doesn’t deserve her or their daughter.
Maybe, I’ll do away with Hutch and claim Sasha and the baby as my own.

Doesn’t Sasha have a
say in that?

Trust me, she will
not resist me. She will come to me willingly.

You know Blake,
maybe you shouldn’t be so cocky. Sasha has a few secrets up her sleeve that may
surprise you.

Seriously? Name one.

A Dreamer.

Wait, are you saying
one of her allies is a Dreamer? Can they control the outcome of the dream?

I guess you’ll have
to find out for yourself. Our time is up.

Did you enjoy
learning about Blake Hutcherson? Blake is actually based on my friend, Blake
Kennedy and the Dreamer that poses a potential threat to his plans is based on
another friend, Mary Beth Wallace. Check out their pictures below.
